Talybont (sometimes written Taly Y Bont) is situated 4 miles north of Barmouth and 6 miles south of Harlech in Gwynedd, North Wales and lies within the Snowdonia National Park.

The village lies between the sea to the west and the mountains to the east
from which the river Ysgethin flows through the village towards the sea. The
bridge which carries the A496 over this river probably gives the village its name as bont in Welsh means bridge.

Near the bridge is the public car park and phone. Adjacent is the village shop and post office. The car park also acts as a meeting point for hill walkers.

The village was founded hundreds of years ago and some of the buildings
testify to the long and interesting history of the village, the Ysgethin being one of them.

Over the last 30 years or so many caravan and camping sites have been
established and these attract many people especially during the warmer seasons. Yes, Talybont is a popular place to live in or visit as it benefits by being near to some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
